Im kinda broke and I want to make some money but just can't find any ways. I live in a remote area so there are no jobs. I don't mean making thousands of dollars but a few just to buy a new Cod or some Nikes. I ain't doing any sexual stuff or sending my pictures!

Yeah you're gonna have to put work into something. The internet is the largest possible pool to jump into.

Do commission art, code, music, etc.
Stream and hope people throw you a few bucks.
Sell your stuff on marketplace/ebay.
Teach lessons on something.

Idk. I've sold art before, but it was like three pieces and then zero interest afterwards. 10-15 years ago it was a lot easier to get some cash doing odd things online. I somehow managed to get paid for a website a couple times, but that wouldn't fly today.

I will probably sell few of my old xbox games thanks for the idea

There are online surveys you can do online that can give you a bit of money once you've made enough of them.

I managed to buy Cyberpunk 2077 with all the surveys I did for the lulz, I wanted to see if I could manage to buy it in a dystopian and ironic way.

[–] Pablo9990@mander.xyz 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do you recommend any? I heard that many surveys are scams and don't pay money

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I live in Quebec, Canada and I used https://www.legeropinion.com/en/about/

They're pretty well known for handling surveys in the province, and they are not known for dodging payouts.

Thanks I will check it out

If your neighborhood has a Facebook page, you could see if any elderly people need a hand with lawn maintenance or snow shoveling.

[–] Pablo9990@mander.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

Nah I live in so small neighborhood that there is no elderly people but thanks for the idea

[–] ElectroVagrant@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Would you edit the OP to rephrase your last line? No pics/no sexual stuff would be better, as it currently reads as having some prejudice against homosexuality, but the no pics part suggests you mean no sexual stuff more broadly.

Thanks in advance

[–] Pablo9990@mander.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

OK I changed it

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Got stuff you can sell locally or on eBay? I doubt there's stuff to help earn that kind of money, pretty sure its all scams or crimes otherwise haha

[–] Pablo9990@mander.xyz 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Thanks man I didnt't thought about selling. I have like 30 xbox games that I can sell.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Should be enough to at least get whatever new game or whatever. If you can, try best you can to avoid selling your games tho unless you know you can emulate them since some day you'll get a lot of joy going back and replaying them again for nostalgia's sake

Step 1: Create an attractive fake person with generative AI. One that is willing to send feet pics or do sexual stuff. Think Sharon Apple from Macross Plus, or Rei Toei from William Gibson's novel "Idoru".

Step 2: Create an OnlyFans account and a Patreon.

Step 3: Generate adult content with the fake Idoru, catfish in some personality with puppet strings and paragraphs.

Step 4: Buy them Cod Nikes

[–] Pablo9990@mander.xyz 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Man you are smart. Im gonna try that

Be sure to double check the age limit in their TOS, as the moment you try to cashout by providing account information your account and earnings may be locked down. If you're under 18, you may need to find someone 18+ willing to let you use a financial account in their name to have the money deposited to

Edit: also, civitai is a nice platform for making the genAI pics, and you could even publish your work there, where it isn't terribly hard to make $10+/mo without investing any money

[–] Pablo9990@mander.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

Thanks im gonna check it out

[–] cheers_queers@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

been awhile since i looked myself, but there used to be sites where you can transcribe audio. if you're good at typing you could try finding something like that

[–] Pablo9990@mander.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Do you remember names of these sites?

[–] cheers_queers@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

[–] Pablo9990@mander.xyz 1 points 1 week ago
